Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

The Stripe Tax team enables our customers to seamlessly calculate, collect, and remit indirect taxes for the products they sell. Given its ubiquitous nature, enabling tax for our merchants represents an enormous opportunity that is applicable to both digital and physical goods sellers across the world. We are building ways for individuals in and outside of our payments ecosystem to leverage Stripe Tax so that they might abstract away the confusing and manual nature of the traditional sales tax cycle.
